Digital technologies are increasingly present in everyone's life: at home, at work, in schools, in the media and in social relations. In order for Brazil to take full advantage of the digital revolution, reaping all the benefits that the information and knowledge society has to offer, the national economy must transform itself with dynamism, competitiveness and inclusion, absorbing the digitization of its processes, values and knowledge. When analyzing the impact of the innovation on six bureaucratic procedures of state governments, Florencia Ferrer proves, with his methodology registered, the BINPS, that is pressing the digitization. Emissions and electronic pickups from IPVA; RG; Business Registration; Criminal record; Occurrence Bulletins; and the National Qualification Portfolio, bring savings of R $ 22.8 billion per year to the Brazilian states. However, although these procedures have already been digitized, much remains to be done. The digitization of bureaucratic processes can be a defining factor for the development of Brazil. One of the objectives of this work is to show how much can be done with this economy. The billions of reais saved, which could only be measured due to the BINPS methodology, represent a slack in the government's cash that can be reverted to other investments. Testimonials: "Florencia Ferrer addresses an essential theme for our times, stimulating the practice of innovative actions that can make public management more efficient in providing services to citizens." - Regis Mattos, Planning Secretary of Espírito Santo "Florencia puts in discussion that is one of the most important debates in the country today: how to provide a quality public service to the Brazilian citizen, with management and efficiency, in essential areas such as Education, Health and Public Security. "- Paulo Câmara, Governor of Pernambuco" This "Guilherme Ary Plonski, Lecturer at USP, Innovation Specialist" Having the work of Florencia Ferrer, yesterday and today, allows us to advance in the administration.

Among the various contradictions that a rapidly developing world of integration has produced, one of the most important is that of capitalist productive restructuring modeled by Information Technology. While at one end we have the concentration of the most modern in technology, management and communication, in the other we see a new world grow, broader and tragic than that of mere unemployment: that of the excluded. The author seeks to follow the steps that led the market and the societies that integrate it to this impasse. It seeks to map the different dimensions of productive restructuring, as well as capture its dynamics. It also analyzes the different processes of trial and error that these changes have produced when trying to adapt to this world in integration. Taking this context as a backdrop, Florencia Ferrer began to verify the dynamism and impact of the new information technologies in capitalist productive restructuring.

The i-Brasil 2015 Agenda, aimed at improving public spending by increasing the level of e-government maturity, is one of the fundamental actions to improve the quality of public spending and modernize its management. The evaluation, carried out over one more year of work, is presented in this publication and makes an important contribution to all those who militate in the area and who seek permanent innovation in the provision of services to the citizen. The project, developed in partnership with the United Kingdom and with the participation of the States, through CONSAD, presents new practices and experience in more advanced countries in topics related to the use of information technology to increase public management, in the case of the Kingdom Helping readers identify the actions that need to be further developed so that better services for citizenship are The partnership is very important, because we will have access to already tested solutions of citizen service that will increase our condition to offer better services Oliveira Junior, Secretary of Planning, Budget and Management ofSergipe. The ranking of Espírito Santo in first place in this international evaluation is a recognition of the investments and work being carried out in this area by the Government.

To initiate any state action or any public policy, it is necessary to buy: there is no education, health or safety without public contracting. If they are not timely, various problems are brought about, including political problems. The proper use of state purchasing power helps economically develop regions and sectors, generating a much more effective way than simply transferring income through specific programs, as it strengthens companies and their cash flow, achieving stability to sustain their growth . It also generates positive spirals, which strengthen the formalization of work and companies, condition to be providers of the state. Public procurement is one of the most transversal processes that exist in the public sector, which allows them to multiply their transforming power when they are innovated and optimized. With a single effort, the spinal column of the state is reformulated and can spread efficiently and effectively. Working to improve its management is a central weapon to prevent both human error and corruption. Implementing policies to improve the quality of public spending, identifying wastes that can be transformed into greater investment capacity, is an increasingly fundamental tool.

When you look at a glass half full and half empty, there are two ways to look at it: think it is almost empty or enjoy the full part. Normally, if we think about public management, politicians, managers and government in general, it gets a bad feeling due to the political scenario that we followed during 2006. However, there is another reality that we witness and experience in our day to day. Traveling all over Brazil, working alongside IT managers in government, we lead projects to develop strategies that improve processes, reducing costs for the State, for citizens and for companies. The results show how much we are all gaining from the action of a well-governed government. "Disseminating best practices in public management is an excellent initiative and has our full support, because it is fundamental that society, the various segments and spheres of government can know, evaluate and recognize the efforts of those responsible for these innovative practices that are changing the face of public administration in Brazil. I can assure you that these changes, these transformations in the public sector are perfectly possible to achieve, because there are countless good public managers who sail against the wind and the tide to build an efficient, refurbished, effective and transparent state. And we also have personalities like Professor Florencia Ferrer to help us in this struggle, in which we try to follow the teachings left by Mario Covas: 'Do not come to me to speak in adversity. Life taught me that before it there are only three possible attitudes: to face, to fight and to win.'"Roberto Meizi Agune

Entre 1973 e 1977 houve 30 mil desaparecidos políticos da Argentina. Boa parte deles entre 1973 e 1976, ainda em um período democrático. Porque? O desaparecimento político parece ter sido uma arma de biopoder aperfeiçoada por um setor da direita cívico-militar argentina. A figura do desaparecido é tão marcante quanto reveladora sobre essa década, e responder a pergunta do porquê desaparecidos nos permite esmiuçar as engrenagens do conflito social, político e econômico da Argentina nos anos 70. Encontramos donas de casa participando ativamente em barricadas contra a polícia, bolinhas de gude sendo usadas como armas muito efetivas, e praticas de tortura que equiparam os mais terríveis regimes autoritários do século XX.

Electronic government is an indisputable tool for citizenship and for increasing the efficiency of the public machine, which is even more important in the case of an emerging country such as ours. Brazil, however, has been prominent in the field of e-government, and is now one of the main references in the area, as shown by a recent UN study, which has classified it as highly e-government training, countries such as Italy, Japan and Austria. Several of Brazil's initiatives, many of them pioneers, currently serve as models for various countries, such as the electoral area (it is the only country in the world with electronic voting throughout its territory) and tax (receives almost all of its income taxes by Internet, as well as IPVA in São Paulo). Designed to be the definitive reference on e-government, the organizers Florencia Ferrer and Paula Santos invited the main authorities in the area in their most diverse spheres: public and private, from Brazil and abroad, from the current and former, federal and state governments or municipal. This diversity and the counterpoint that reflects make the work the most complete guide on the subject. Aware that the digital economy is not an option, but an undisputed task of governments, E-Government in Brazil offers the reader a comprehensive history of the main projects and initiatives of e-government in Brazil, as well as showing the policies of the current government and current trends in this segment.
